Each week on The Block, contestants face the same challenges as any busy residential construction site: time pressure, tight access, messy conditions and protecting finishes from damage.
In our Protecta Tips: The Block Series, we break down how temporary protection is being used on-site, offering practical advice for tradies, site managers and contractors working on new builds, renovations and fit-out projects.
Check back weekly as we add tips and insights as the teams make progress and rooms are revealed.

Pickleball Court Transformation
This week on The Block, a lawn bowling green was temporarily transformed into a pickleball court—a unique challenge that called for smart protection solutions.
Â
To protect the delicate surface of the green, contestants laid down Protecta Board XTRA as a strong, reusable barrier. The boards not only safeguarded the turf under the new court, but also provided a stable base for camera equipment that couldn’t sit directly on the grass.
Watch the video to see the full transformation from bowling green to pickleball court.
Why Protecta Board XTRA?
- Durable protection for high traffic and sensitive surfaces
- Reusable boards that can be installed and removed without damage
- Versatile protection from gainst ladders, tools and heavy foot traffic
Smarter Installation with Protecta Floor Tape ApplicatorÂ
Laying down protection on large areas can be time-consuming and physically demanding - especially when it comes to taping joints between boards. That’s where the Protecta Tape Applicator proved invaluable on The Block.
Â
Instead of installers needing to bend or crouch to secure every length of tape, the applicator allowed tape to be applied while standing upright, saving time and reducing strain on the back and knees.Â
